MARLINS RUMORS & GOSSIP

MIAMI (AP) -- Adeiny Hechavarria hit a three-run home run off Brandon Maurer with one out in the ninth inning, and the Miami Marlins topped the San Diego Padres 5-2 on Sunday.
It was the first career walkoff homer for Hechavarria, the Marlins' No. 8 hitter. It came after San Diego's Alexi Amarista -- the Padres' No. 8 hitter -- tied the game in the top of the ninth with a two-run...

MIAMI -- Miami Marlins reliever Carter Capps exited during the eighth inning of Sunday's game with right elbow stiffness. He is listed as day-to-day.
Capps, who struck out San Diego Padres outfielder Will Venable before Yangervis Solarte reached on an infield hit, walked Matt Kemp on four pitches. He got ahead of Justin Upton at 0-2, but second baseman Miguel Rojas noticed something...

Well, the trade deadline has come and past, and you wouldn’t believe it. The Miami Marlins, yes the 18-games-below-.500 Marlins, have yet again sold at the deadline. Did we expect anything less from our illustrious and well-respected owner Jeffrey Loria?
The Marlins at, and slightly before the deadline, gave up on the already lost season. We saw the dealing of Dan Haren to...

MIAMI (AP) -- The Miami Marlins traded right-handed reliever Sam Dyson to the Texas Rangers on Friday for catcher Tomas Telis and a minor league pitcher.
Dyson was 3-3 with a 3.68 ERA in 44 appearances for Miami this season. He appeared in 80 games with the Marlins over the last three seasons, after breaking into the majors for two games with Toronto in 2011.
Telis has gotten limited...

The Cubs acquired an end of the rotation starter to help them make a push for one of the wild cards when they acquired Dan Haren from the Miami Marlins. Haren will be a free agent at the end of the season and his salary is being paid by the Los Angeles Dodgers. In exchange, the Marlins will get minor leaguers Elliot Soto and Ivan Pineyro.
Why the Cubs make this trade
Dan Haren...

MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins made several roster moves on Friday afternoon, including releasing infielder Jeff Baker and recalling prospect Jose Urena from Triple-A New Orleans.
Miami also reinstated infielder Donovan Solano from the paternity list to take Michael Morse's bench spot after he was traded -- and subsequently designated for assignment -- by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Scott Boras says that Miami Marlins players are pissed off at the team over the handling of Marcell Ozuna. Ozuna, who is represented by Boras, was demoted to Triple-A earlier this month. Though Ozuna’s numbers weren’t great, they certainly weren’t bad enough where you’d say he should be in the minors. He was batting .249/.301/.347,...Read More

In what may be an unprecedented (and sophomorically delightful) act of music-based psychological warfare, the wacky wisenheimers in charge of the P.A. system at Marlins Park — the already-carnival-like home of the Miami Marlins — pumped in what sounded like fart noises as the Washington Nationals conducted their batting practice session prior to Wednesday’s game....Read More...

The Miami Marlins had something special planned for the visiting Washington Nationals prior to Thursday night's game at Marlin Park: playing fart noises over the PA system during Nats batting practice. Went back through BP tape and found the fart noise during #Nats BP. This is not a joke. pic.twitter.com/Q7dweOdk19 — HoldenKushner (@Holdenradio) July 29, 2015Some would say this...

MIAMI -- Miami Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki moved 100 hits away from 3,000 on Wednesday night.
Suzuki's RBI double down the left-field line in the second inning off Washington Nationals right-hander Doug Fister put him closer to the milestone. It also gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer connected on an 86 mph fastball.
It helped him become the 38th...

So, it’s come to this in Miami – the Marlins went from giving the Washington Nationals no background music during batting practice on Wednesday to giving them fart sounds.
Yes, fart sounds.
Marlins giving Nats the silent treatment for BP, so Harper brought out Gio's giant speaker to put next to the cage.

The headline isn’t the way the Marlins would put it. It’s not the only way to interpret Wednesday’s trade — it’s just one way to do so. The Dodgers, who’ve been in the market for rotation help, convinced the Marlins to sell them Mat Latos. The price for Los Angeles: accepting, along with Latos, Michael […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been heavily rumored to be interested in multiple starting pitchers. Whether they get that ace remains to be seen, but the team did add a solid veteran arm in Mat Latos on Wednesday.

Jose Fernandez puts a perfect home record on the line when he takes the mound for the Marlins on Tuesday night against the Nationals.
Fernandez has never lost at Marlins Park, posting a 14-0 record with a 1.17 ERA in 22 career home starts dating to his rookie season of 2013.
The Cuban right-hander, who will turn 23 on Friday, has been overpowering in three lifetime starts against...

With a flurry of offseason moves in December, the Miami Marlins hoped to build a playoff contender overnight. Although the team has struggled, key positional additions such as Dee Gordon and Martin Prado have seen some success in a Marlins uniform. However, Michael Morse, who was signed away from the San Francisco Giants after winning a World Series ring, has greatly underperformed...

The St. Louis Cardinals, who own the Majors best record at 61-34, added depth to their bullpen on Friday when they acquired former closer Steve Cishek from the Miami Marlins in exchange for Double-A reliever Kyle Barraclough. Additionally, the Cardinals agreed to pay the remainder of Cishek’s $6.65 million this season.
The Cardinals bullpen has the second-lowest earned run average...

The first reliever is off of the trade market – the Miami Marlins are dealing ex-closer Steve Cishek to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cishek will probably roll off a run of something like two runs in 25 innings after the trade, because that’s just what happens with...

PHOENIX -- Jose Fernandez struck out 11 in seven innings, A.J. Ramos struck out three straight with the bases loaded in the ninth and the Miami Marlins held off the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3 on Wednesday night.
Fernandez (3-0) was sharp in his fourth start since returning from Tommy John surgery, allowing three runs on five hits for a rare road win.
The right-hander also had second...

The Miami Marlins have officially placed All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon on the disabled list after he dislocated his thumb during Saturday’s game against the Cinncinati Reds.
Gordon dislocated the thumb after sliding into first base on an infield single. The Marlins had thought that he could avoid a DL stint, but the injury isn’t healing the way they had hoped.
In 84 games...

On this week’s episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver thrashed a sports-related topic that really drives us insane – the concept of public funding for stadiums.
There was clearly a lot more he could have done with this, but it likely would have gotten juuuuust a bit complicated for the target crowd, considering all of the details involved.
The bit about the holographic...
